Kinetic Energy-energy in motion
The cheetah is moving very fast to catch the gazelle it is performing kinetic energy.

Demonstration: I am potential energy and Emerson is kinetic energy. Hey Emerson...I hope you are not demostrating this in class right now-Mr. P. and then we will switch.






Potential Energy-energy stored in an object
The ball is at the top of the hill and the energy is inside it because it has the potential to move.

Chemical Energy

Definition-potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together.

Chemical energy is used in chocolate, wood external image images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRTmvr3rUbm0oxjNK50_CCu3HFrfPR-3xC0PyWTlQeLjwHfJFGpwQand wax as compounds and stored in foods and used to light a candle it is even stored in the cells of your body.

The chocolate you eat has energy in it.

In the design I would make a type of wood floor that has a cool feature to it so that it shows the chemical compounds.


Mechanical Energy

Definition-energy associated with the motion or position of an object.

Mechanical energy is like thexternal image 92291799.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=91F5CCEF208281FD89A11E41415FDB6A3BE682BEE09BF2DD245B71A45F15A0B4e bus you ride in or a frog.












The car was speeding at speeds over 100 mph!

I would put a huge newtons cradle with big foam balls and let the kids play with it for a couple seconds and run through it.


Nuclear Energy

Definition- Stored in the core, or nucleus of an atom. It happens when a nucleus splits or nuclei fuse or join together.

Nuclear energy is used in nuclear power plants.

Nuclear energy is a very dangerous type of energy.

I would have a soft substance explode maybe...
Electromagnetic Energy

Definition-travels in waves and anything that has to do with light basically.

visible light, ultraviolet radiation, microwaves and infared radiation are all examples

That light looks like it has a bunch of electromagnetic energy.

I would have some ultra violet lighting throughout the experiment
Electrical energy

Definition-means moving electrical charges to produce electricity

batteries, powerlines, radios, lights, and computers are things that use electrical energy

look at the energy in the light

we could have some flashing lights



Thermal Energy

Definition- total energy of particals in an object

heater, microwave, oven and a toaster uses thermal energy

The ice cream melts from the heat We could put something in a micro wave and make it pop open
